Sourceforge
What's happened to Sourceforge? It's virtually unusable now. The help page tells me to click on Submit new but it's nowhere to be found on the bugs page. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a user experience - I just want stuff that works.

This has, as you say, no obvious way of adding a bug. I did try this URL in Windows Firefox, and the same thing happens there. Is there a way we can help the developers by reporting bugs now?

I did try logging in to see if it made a difference, but didn't notice the Create ticket. Presumably this means that people without a Sourceforge account can't submit bug reports any more, which is a pity, At least they now have Save instead of that awful Add artifact!

Maybe this useful info could be added to Netsurf's own help page -- http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/info -- which tells you how to report a bug. (Is this page wiki-editable or is it only the Netsurf team who can do it? A link direct to the relevant point in Sourceforge would be welcome.) I've just finished floundering my way through the Sourceforge process before discovering this thread on the mailinglist. Am still unsure whether my report got posted on Sourceforge or not or twice. Its Preview button didn't give any reassurance. And, while on the subject of Sourceforge, does its print really need to be so tiny, given the acres of white space? And does the print need to be grey rather than black? (Is this grey a current fashion among website designers or is it my eyesight?!? If grey, I presume it is controlled by something in CSS.) -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk before emailing large files (1Mb), please ask me for FTP details See you at Kenilworth? www.mug.riscos.org/show13 July 13

That sort of thing is annoying. I like Oregano's option to disable Use document colours. Pity we haven't got something similar in NS. I probably raised it as a feature request in the dim and distant past. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a user experience - I just want stuff that works.

To see it more as intended you can use this link to load the 'invisible' css file http://www.cornishworkshop.co.uk/candyedit.css . Save it to ram disc alongside the web page as candyedit/css then edit it Hmm, is this a general technique that works with any site using CSS with tiresome features? I've often wondered how to see what the hidden CSS is doing. F'rinstance my wee rant in the Sourceforge thread about text that is not only tiny but grey -- which I see too often on other sites, tho maybe it's my own eyesite! -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk See you at Kenilworth? www.mug.riscos.org/show13 July 13

Couldn't find any beds (or tgbles!) on that workshop site! But then of course the overwritten text might explain this. ;=) -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk See you at Kenilworth? www.mug.riscos.org/show13 July 13

Checked back an hour or two later, and my report is not listed on the bugs page at Sourceforge, so did it again. Clicked Save (does that mean Submit?), and up comes this page*: www.archivemag.co.uk/JN/TEMP/NS-sourceforge.html Hardly helpful. I already know I am logged in. I want to know whether my submission has been successful or not. I'm stymied. Less than user-friendly, imho. Perhaps Netsurf is not displaying the Sourceforge page correctly, and we are missing something vital? While we're on about Sourceforge, could someone already familiar with its workings please explain to us in the cheap seats what OpenID is all about? This page says OpenID eliminates the need for multiple usernames across different websites. Does that mean different Sourceforge websites or what? *The tiny grey print in acres of blank space is a separate topick. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

This page says OpenID eliminates the need for multiple usernames across different websites. Does that mean different Sourceforge websites or what? It's an authentication system that works on any site that supports it. The idea is that you can choose your own OpenID provider, and use that to log in on any website (well, as long as that website supports OpenID). It hasn't taken off in a big way, but it largely operates (from a user perspective at least) the same as the log in with Facebook, Log in with Twitter, Log in with my Google Account etc buttons a lot of sites have. I quite like the one on Sourceforge, as they used to force password changes quite often, and logging in with an OpenID circumvented that. However, unless they've changed it recently, you can't actually log in with an OpenID on Sourceforge if you're using NetSurf. Chris
